After Action Report
In Detroit, the Pistons demolished the Wizards 138-115. Pistons torched the Wizards on the offensive end. Pistons' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; Wizards' old heads steadied the ship in the swings. The Pistons locker room is humming, and it showed. Tonight's Wizards utilization choices clashed with the team identity. Garbage time started early.
What tipped it
- Pistons · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
